06:31.430 --> 06:35.557 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he shouldn't be here, but he had a falling out with a sushi. 06:35.597 --> 06:36.478 [SPEAKER_01]: It's not a problem. 06:36.699 --> 06:42.369 [SPEAKER_01]: I, so if all that's true, what do we do now? 06:42.409 --> 06:44.933 [SPEAKER_01]: Where do we look like? 06:44.913 --> 06:47.355 [SPEAKER_01]: How do we stop a thing this eating time? 06:47.375 --> 06:48.776 [SPEAKER_01]: Like, where do you need leads?
